I was lucky to be invited to a private event at the MoMA, where we had this beautiful exhibit all to ourselves.

As some of you out there are looking for gifts this holiday season, I wanted to share some of my favorite unique finds from Amazon that we have in our home. All of them are under $30 except one.

Minimalist box to hide cables

Hair pin made in France that actually holds my thick, heavy hair

Braided extension cord that is pretty enough to leave out

Wood scallop bowl to hold fruit (or “decorative gourds”)

Classy bookmark

Everhem vs. Wovn custom shades

I purchased custom Roman shades for two rooms in my house from Wovn and Everhem, and I thought it might be helpful if I compared the two services. This is obviously not sponsored, since I don’t have sponsorships on this little site. If you aren’t familiar, Wovn and Everhem are DTC companies for custom window treatments. Although the fabric options are limited, you can order samples right to your home and then order your window treatments online. They both are extremely user friendly, with many guides on how to properly measure and inspiration photos. Some comparisons below:

WovnEverhem
$100 shippingFree shipping
More pattern fabric optionsWoven woods options
More expensive (around 20% more including shipping cost)Cheaper and has sales a few times a year for 15-20% off
Premium fabric feelThinner fabric feel
Hardware installation very easy to do on your ownMore difficult to install on your own
No sales tax in certain statesNo sales tax in certain states
Less lead time (3-4 weeks)Long lead time (6-8 weeks)
Small fabric swatchesLarge fabric swatches
Slightly clunky chain mechanismSmooth roller chain mechanism

What would I choose again? I love love love the look of the woven woods. It is so crisp yet adds an organic feel to the room. I can easily see myself using it again. But I also like several of the pattern options Wovn offers. The style and color I am going for would likely dictate what service I choose in the future, but if it’s a plain white shade, I would choose Wovn because I like their fabric, ease of installation, and faster shipping more (it is worth the higher cost IMO).

Some photos below. Note that both these windows are the exact same size, but are in different rooms.

Hardware upgrade

If you have been around for a while, you know that I love a good hardware upgrade. It is the easiest, and sometimes cheapest, way to make a big impact in a space. Plus you interact with the knob every day.

I recently switched out the knobs and hinges in the sitting room. You can also see a sneak peek of the color I am painting the cabinets.

After:

My dream Rejuvenation knobs. They are too expensive to use for a large project, but since I only needed 4, I decided to splurge.

No-bake mousse bars

During one of the last hot days where I just couldn’t cook anymore, I made these bars as a treat. Even though they use 139402938 bowls/contraptions for a relatively simple dish, they were worth it.
